IS IT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR A PHONE THAT CAN BE MAINTAINED AND SURVIVE LIFE!?
sorry to yell. i just feel like i'm going crazy
Fairphone is the closest we have. It's trivial to replace battery and other components.
It doesn't have 3.5mm jack.
FP3 does
swear to god, it can't cost as much to add a headphone jack as big e-waste is trying to convince us it does. i won't outright dismiss a phone because it doesn't have a headphone jack, but it's crazy to me that budget phones still have them and "nice" phones don't
Never. Ever. There's dozens of us that use it all the time.
I'd love to have a fairphone, but none of their phones seem to have a home button, and they also have that stupid thing where the selfie camera is on the screen...
Honestly would spend thousands on a modern phone with a 16:9 display and no selfie cam notch
I just want a modern day equivalent to an iPhone 5s. That phone was peak smartphone.
Is the home button the middle round button on Android? Do you mean a physical button like on Iphone?
Physical button on older Iphones, of course.
Yep, it's practically way too much to ask from manufacturers who want to sell you a new phone every year or two.
